Suggestion in handling the dependent fields in frame work.

[GuruKrishna]

Hi All,

I am working in an application which is completely ajax based...i.e lots of fields are dependent on some other fields and settings.

While creating normal selenium scripts,i have to use lot of if/else condition.

How will I handle this situation while creating a hybrid /Keyword Framework ?

Please suggest

.

Thanks

Not entirely clear on how you used to handle this with if/else conditions. Regardless, if selecting something from one field alters another field I would simply use WebDriverWait to wait for the expected value on the second element. For example, if I select Country as "United States" then the Language field changes to have "Español". I would not tie the Country and Language fields together in my automation. I would simple look for the value "Español" on the State field. For example,

    WebDriver driver;

    WebDriverWait wdw;

    @Before

    public void setup() {

        // initialize driver and wdw here

    }

    @Test

    public void test32() {

        driver.get("http://www.aircanada.com");

        By country = By.cssSelector("#SITEVALUE [value='US']");

        SelectElement(country);

        By language = By.cssSelector("#LANGVALUE [value='Español']");

        SelectElement(language);

    }

    private void SelectElement(By option) {

        wdw.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(option));

        driver.findElement(option).click();

    }

I would also put in an option to take a screen capture if an exception is thrown. This way if selecting the country did not update the language, the test will fail on selecting the language with a NoSuchElementException. My exception handler would then take a screen capture and I would hopefully see that selecting country was wrong. Worse case I would step through the automation and see the language field isn't updated even when the correct country is selected.
